Loom Haven Advisors

The best person for the role, not the best who applied.

Loom Haven, hunters for hunters, now with more reach.

Sales remains our deepest practice. The desks in construction, finance and insurance, technology, healthcare and legal are active, with clients we still serve. If you have a role open, tell us about the seat.

What To Expect

What has changed, and what has not.

What has not changed

  • One person accountable for the search, start to finish.
  • The same hunters-for-hunters approach: we go and find the person.
  • The same focus on revenue-producing hires.

What is new

  • We are now a NovusMarc company.
  • Broader reach across the United States and Europe.
  • More desks than sales alone.

Sales talent is what we are known for. We hunt the same way. We just cover more ground now.

Trusted by sales teams since 2023
Commission-only seats

The hardest sales roles to fill, and the ones we are asked for most.

A 90-day replacement guarantee

On every placement.

Market mapping

We map the market rather than advertise the role, and you see the map.

Why Clients Use Us

We recruit. We do not wait for applications.

The hard-to-fill searches

Niche technical talent, specialized operators, and mission-critical individual contributors: the searches other firms decline. Difficulty is the assignment, not the exception.

Hunters of top producers

We do not post and pray. We map the market and engage the top performers who are not applying, the people your competitors cannot reach. You hire the best in the market, not the best who happened to apply.

Operator-first

Loom Haven is led by people who have managed P&Ls and led sales teams. We assess candidates for the work itself, not for a polished résumé.

The risk stays with us

Every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee. We tell you why each candidate can do the job, where the risks are, and what we would want to test in the interview.

The Desks

The desks we run

Sales and commercial is the desk we are known for, and it still leads. The five underneath it are active desks, each with a client base we have served for years and a network we built by working it, not by buying a list.

The full sales practice is at sales search.

Sales and Commercial

The desk we are known for. Quota-carrying hunters, the leaders who run them, and the commercial roles either side.

Revenue-producing hires rather than support around them: the people measured on what they bring in. This is where the firm started and it is still where most of our work sits.

Roles we fill

VP Sales · Sales Director · Account Executive · Business Development · Commercial Manager

Construction

Field and office leadership for general contractors, subcontractors and the supply chain around them.

General contracting, the trades and the specialty subcontractors underneath them, plus the suppliers and distributors who serve the same projects.

Roles we fill

Project Executive · Superintendent · Senior Estimator · MEP Coordinator · Safety Manager

Finance, Accounting and Insurance

The people who own the numbers, and on the insurance side, the producers who carry a book.

The finance function from the controller's desk up to the CFO, and on the insurance side the commercial lines producers and underwriters who carry revenue rather than administer it.

Roles we fill

CFO · Controller · VP Finance · FP&A Manager · Commercial Lines Producer · Senior Underwriter

IT and Technology

Permanent and contract-to-hire placement for product, platform and delivery teams.

Product, platform, infrastructure and security, staffed permanently or through a contract bench depending on how long the work runs.

Roles we fill

CTO · Engineering Manager · DevOps and Platform Lead · Product Manager · CISO

Healthcare

Operator roles rather than clinical ones: the people who run the business of care.

The administrative and commercial side of provider organisations. We do not place clinicians. We place the people who run the practice around them.

Roles we fill

Practice Administrator · Revenue Cycle Director · Clinical Manager · Health IT Lead

Legal

In-house counsel and the compliance function around it.

In-house teams rather than private practice: the counsel who sit inside the business and the compliance and contracting function that reports alongside them.

Roles we fill

General Counsel · Associate Attorney · Associates and lateral attorneys · Compliance Manager · Contract Manager

The Process

How a search actually runs

Every desk runs the same process: calibration, a market map you actually see, a shortlist with our reasoning attached, and a 90-day replacement guarantee.

01

Calibration

We learn the role, the team, the culture, and the non-negotiables, then define what exceptional actually looks like before the search begins.

02

Market mapping

We map the market and go after the top performers already winning where they are. The best talent is rarely on a job board, so we go to them.

03

Curated shortlist

You receive a shortlist of pre-vetted candidates, each assessed for what they owned and how they produced. A shortlist, never a stack.

04

Close and guarantee

We help with the job description, compensation and market studies, the offer and the counteroffer. Every placement carries a 90-day replacement guarantee.

How We Engage

How we engage on these desks

Every desk above runs the same process. What changes between engagements is who carries the risk of the search not closing, and that is what separates the models below. It is a question of the role and the market, not of which one is the premium product.

Contingency Search

Paid on hire

We are paid only when you hire. Because we carry the whole risk of a search that never closes, this is the right structure when the role is well defined, the qualified market is deep enough to work at speed, and confidentiality is not a constraint. It also suits a search you might not conclude, because you are testing the market.

What it covers

Well-defined roles · Deep candidate markets · Speed over exclusivity · Paid on placement

Exclusive Search

Exclusivity without the full commitment

Exclusivity and priority without the full commitment of a retained search, which suits a first senior hire or an approval process that will not sign off on one before a slate exists.

What it covers

Exclusive and prioritised · First-time senior hires

Retained Search

Senior, confidential, or a thin market

The search is exclusive and prioritised. The commitment is what pays for a market map rather than the candidates who are easiest to reach, structured assessment, referencing, and readouts whether or not the news is good.

What it covers

Senior and hard-to-replace roles · Confidential searches · Market mapping

Contract-to-Hire

When a permanent hire is not the first step

Bring someone on under contract with a clear path to permanent conversion, so fit is evaluated on the job before the long-term commitment. It suits fast-moving teams and newly created functions where the shape of the role is still settling.

What it covers

Trial-to-permanent pathway · Fit evaluated on the job · Lower hiring risk · Smooth conversion to full-time

If we have worked together before, let us do it again.

Send me the role and I will get hunting. You will hear back from me, not from a queue.
